help?
 
Is the knock from the bottom end? Could be a spun bearing, any more details for us? Any motor issues prior to? Were you pushing it hard, etc?

it has never liked to stay on when i cut it on and just start to drive right off the bat, have to let it warm up a little first or it'll cut off whenever i stop the first 2-3 times i stop...and it did it yesterday but then it decided to not sound so good and shake like crazy...

it cut off when i was waiting to turn left and cracked once with me on the gas and when it cut on and then jumpd to like 4000 rpms from my foot beign on the gas it made a bang noise and started to shake and knock bad so i cut it off and then it wouldnt crack back up so i pushed it off the road and then had to jump it to get it back on and it kept shaking like crazy and knocking.


i have a feeling this will be expensive?
 
Ok, I have no idea what "crack" means in terms of the motor running. Im not understanding your terms man but it sounds like a cylinder went bad. Any pinging from the fuel injectors prior to this? It does sound like its not firing on all cylinders but it could also be a bunch of other things. Any check engine lights or anything like that? Wondering if it tripped a code. So it has stalled out on you in the past when it is cold? Honestly, it could be a number of things but lets see what everyone else says. Without hearing it or seeing it its kinda difficult to diagnose

no noises before, no engine lights now, nothing like that...but just like you said though it 'felt' like the cyl werent firing right and the timing of the firing was off or something.

the stalling was from the IAC as far as i know, i need to replace it instead of just cleaning it off every once in a while.

on another note...i need shocks bad, anybody know about rancho rsx shocks? 55-60 a shock isn't a bad price to me and they're the best thing rancho has before you go adjustable which is out of my price range.

FWIW, I got some bilstein 5100's and they are SAWEEET!

Took them out to the desert this weekend, they kick RE mono's BUTT...

NO idea what could be wrong with your engine, sorry
thats what i want, but i dont wanna spend the $400 on them.
 
Ive got a set of RE Monotubes sitting here if your interested. I could use the cash and they are a thousand times better than any Rancho stuff. And I agree, I cant justify spending that much on shocks haha. Let me know if your interested. In regards to the motor, I would certainly think a cylinder went bad from what you described

if it rides half as good as my jeep did when i had RE monotubes on it at 3.5" i'll be satisfied.

me and ian determined that my jeep is so built to go anywhere, through any rocks, through any mud hole, and over any hill...that it can't handle smooth, paved, no inclined roads anymore

Classic! My buddy and I joke about this same thing all the time. We dump thousands of dollars into our suspensions, axles, tires, you name it and we often end up with a some what streetable rig that can tackle the toughest trails known to man. Thats why ive "tried" to keep a decent balance between the two, key word is "tried"

"first of the week" is when they're going to take a look at it, because my jeep hates me enough to break on a holiday week
